RESUMO:

Urban mobility is one of the most relevant aspects for the sustainable development of cities. It seeks to integrate transport and circulation policies with urban development ones in order to promote accessibility for all, prioritizing collective transport and non-motorized modes in a safe, socially inclusive and sustainable environment. In Brazil, the National Urban Mobility Policy, established by Federal Act nº 12.587/2012, aims to achieve several objectives that contribute to sustainable urban mobility practices, such as reducing inequalities and social inclusion, promoting access to basic services and social facilities, improvements in the urban life conditions of the population related to accessibility and mobility, among others. In this context, it is essential to use tools to support mobility planning and management with regard to the monitoring and implementation of sustainable transport policies. In this direction, the present work aims to develop an indicators tool for evaluating and monitoring sustainable urban mobility status in a medium-sized Brazilian city. We analysed national and international academic and technical literature in order to identify and select potential indicators; therefore, specialists’ appreciation shall define a subset of these potential indicators in order to support the design of a suitable and feasible instrument for the case of Brazilian medium-sized cities. An application to a chosen case will permit to validate the proposed tool. Therefore, this research is of applied nature, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches in a way that the designed tool may be able to identify the local aspects of urban mobility and to be useful in guiding decision makers in the elaboration of public policies for sustainable urban mobility, as well as in its planning and management.
